Farewell...

Tonight is the night we bid a fond farewell to a lovely young woman on our local NBC-2 TV affiliate in Fort Myers Florida, tomorrow is her last day. A weather woman with not just another pretty face but a wholesome one and a very well educated person with actual degrees in Meteorology and beyond!
She has been a joy to watch evolve over the years from a very able and capable young girl into a mature person, multi-faceted, and becoming a true woman for the twenty-first century proving that she can do it all.
We watched her on TV, when we noticed that rock emerge on her left hand for her engagement and marveled many months later when she posted her lovely wedding pictures on Face book and lastly we saw her belly/baby grow these last several months as she kept on doing her job as the amazing meteorologist always pleasant in rain or shine, cold or hot, our home spun gal who has had it all together with calm and her winning personality!
No matter what the day’s weather would be, it always sounded better with a smile from our Haley Webb for she became everyone’s sister, daughter, mother of her own child and lastly but not least our Face book friend!
Haley is not ill thank heavens; she will be doing her other extremely important job… becoming a MOTHER, some of us say the best one in the world, and she will return to this, her other job that she truly loves as ‘OUR METEOROLOGIST’. But in the interim, we, her public, will miss her terribly and it will not only be for her presentations that always are professional and concise but because of who she is as a decent person who always cares about answering her Face book friends with her genuineness of interest and concern; she is truly one of a kind!
And still quite young with a heck of career ahead of her, yes Haley! I say you can have it all and do it all, because you make it look so easy!
Since a level head is what it takes and you definitely have that!
Please dear lady take care and enjoy your days off since your life is going to be so sped up into hyper speed from that very first day your little one comes into this world and you decide to come back to inform us daily again with whether or not we can expect our home state to provide us with our bragging rights of weather so perfect to make the rest of the world envious or not… kidding! Not really, since you know we do enjoy spreading that word. It’s always P-E-R-F-E-C-T, when told to us with your smiling face.

And so I must end this evening with a sadness in my heart for we as a fan base for a very real accessible TV personality will be leaving us briefly for her other real life; and who will fill that void for us? So far none have stepped up to the plate, but to be honest we will never have another Haley, a unique honest person with joy in her heart and soul; big shoes to fill, huh?

On that reasoning of caring for another one enough to let them know I would like to wish you all a very happy good night and to all count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?
